They look fairly mundane, but police are warning people to look twice at coat hangers found in public bathrooms because they may have hidden cameras inside of them.

Just less than a year ago, police in Florida reported on three separate instances where police discovered the hidden cameras in different women’s bathrooms throughout Monroe County, Florida.

“Keep in mind, though, that these are very small cameras that can be mounted in many locations and hidden in many seemingly every-day items,” said the Monroe County Sheriff Rick Ramsay.

All of the devices found looked like simple white coat hooks, deputies said, with the camera mounted behind it, using a small hole in the top portion of the coat hook for the lens of the camera. They use motion detection cameras inside to take video.
